Carolyn Jones (aka Morticia Addams

35 years ago today “Morticia Addams” died. The woman we knew and loved as Morticia was of course Carolyn Jones. A very talented actress who performed in both movies and television. She crossed several movie genres but even the younger generation knows “Morticia”. She was the original and favorite goth beauty. The Morticia dress and mannerisms had us coming back week after week. And of course that handsome devil Gomez and the rest of the kooky family had us at the theme music. It was pure entertainment heaven. It’s also why so many of us seek out the show this many years later.

Many may not know of her acting in 34 movies. Some with the best of the best of Hollywood including Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Anthony Quinn and Kirk Douglas to name a few.

Mission Statement

As two women who have had long and successful careers as funeral directors, we’ve been reading a lot about the demise of funeral service as we know it. Much to our dismay, newspapers, magazines and websites often highlight macabre and outre voices, for the sake of shock. Inexperienced, and sometimes unlicensed, individuals have become self-appointed experts, telling anyone who will listen that the traditional funeral is a thing of the past, replaced by a holy host of new ways to dispose of the dead. Not so! The time-honored funeral tradition, along with its many sacred rituals, is alive and well. We hope to be not only an antidote to all the misinformation out there, but also a resource for all who are seeking real information about all things funereal. Thanks for joining us as we explore this sensitive topic together.
